Made of Stone Songtext
von Michael Arden

Quasimodo, you must try to free yourself!
The girl needs your help!
Quiet! Go away (you′re the only one who can save her now)
You know what happens when I try to help?
I only make things worse (you don't believe that!)
How do you know what I believe?

What do you know of me?
What do you know of all the things I feel?
You′re only made of stone
Who is it that you see
Instead of seeing what I am for real
This twisted flesh and bone?

(Quasimodo, it wasn't your fault!)
You're a liar!
With ev′ry new excuse you try out
You only make me want to cry out
"Would that I were made of stone like you"


(You don′t mean that!)
(Just take some time to–!)
You give such good advice
So why has not one single word you've said
Been any help at all?

(Quasimodo)
And you who sounds so nice
The more your hopes and fancies fill my head
The farther that I fall

Shut my brain down!
If I were senseless, I′d prefer it
Another gargoyle on this turret
Spitting rain down to the stones below!

I've wasted my faith
Believing in saints of plaster
But the only one worth believing in was my master
He′s the one who never lied

He told me it was cruel outside
He told me how I had to hide
His words were cold as stone
But they were true
Not like you


Take all the dreams you've sown
Take all your lies
And leave me alone!

All right, Quasimodo
We′ll leave you alone
All right, Quasimodo
We'll trouble you no longer

You're right, Quasimodo
We′re only made of stone
We just thought that you were made of something stronger

And now I′m on my own
Never again to wonder what's out there
Let it remain unknown
And my one human eye will evermore be dry
Until the day I die
As if I were made of stone!
